Location is about 10min walk from the pier. However, you will be greeted by staff who will help you carry your luggage and show you the way. We were upgraded to the Bungalow which I would recommend above the other rooms as it's located higher (more privacy and further from the blarring music of the island) . Staff were very accommodating with our needs and gave us good tips around the area.
I was nervous about this stay, but we left as happy travellers.

Seems like an OK value for phi phi. Music wasn’t too loud. Simple room. The bed was a little bit hard for my taste. But not crazy hard. Lots of stairs. I loved the pool! I loved the viewing area. Good shower. Good ac. Free water!!!! Close to viewpoint. I would stay again. :)

Uphill is a bit far from the center, pretty near the viewpoint, the pool is quite cool with an awesome hill view. The room is small but clean and has a small balcony. It is quite good with a cheap price.

Beautiful views in a good value accommodation”

It is difficult to find a good value in Koh phi phi and so we were extremely pleased with Uphill cottage. Staff were absolutely lovely, very welcoming. They help to transfer luggage to and from the pier. Hotel is a short walk to the centre, close enough to make getting around easy but far enough to avoid the noise of the bars. The views of the island from the hotel are stunning! If you don't want to climb stairs getting to your room, you can have a room on the bottom of the hill and enjoy the views from the viewing platform at the top whenever you feel like it. The pool is a perfect plunge pool, it's kept extremely clean. Rooms are great. Overall definitely recommended!

We had a wonderful stay in here. Staff are very helpful and room is very clean. However, the toilet looks very old and stained. If the management can renovate the toilet it would be amazing. Thank you for the hospitality. Ill definitely recommend the place

Not so great bungalow with a great view”

Firstly, we had to climb 100+ steep steps to get to our bungalow. Read reviews about these before and thought, it’ll be fine. It really wasn’t, not in the heat with all your backpacks etc. Once in the bungalow the walls were in definite need of some new paint. Stains everywhere, dated furnishings, the bathroom was horrible. Only good thing was, the view off the balcony. It was unreal!!! Could see both sides of the water, and see Phi Phi Ley in the background. Stunning. Also there is monkeys hanging around. We heard they can be a pain but never bothered us. Actually got pretty close to a family 5 metres from our place and managed to film them grooming each other, including a tiny baby. Wouldn’t stay here again.

okay”

Didn't read any mention of this from other reviews, but there are monkeys around the area that will frequently climb around your roofs/ balcony and hunt for food. Our balcony door was unlocked and 2 monkeys came into the room to rob our food.
Steep stairs. Located near the viewpoint.

It is literraly at the hill, so you're sweating before you get to the room. Receptionest (upon arrival) not pleasant at all. Air con at our appartement didn't work. It is further but still noisy, also as people walked along the room on wooden steps, the whole wall was shaking.

Lovely place, good location, fantastic views.”

Me and my partner stayed in room 15 right outside the swimming pool, it’s small but nice, view is lovely also. People there are very friendly and helpful. Few stairs but not bad after all all the food and drink your consuming you need a bit of exercise haha. The noise from the main bit isn’t that bad, although be aware there are monkeys out and about and make a racket from time to time, you can spot them on an evening too. Overall great time and would deffo recommend.

Great value for the money”

Place was nice. Room was tidy. With aircon, fridge, water. Bed was clean and comfy. Place is not far from main things and beach. Just maybe 10-15mins walk to the beach, depends how u walk. Only things is the stairs. If you don't like stairs this place is not for you. We were staying nearly on the top room, and there is plenty stairs to go. Pool was small, but clean and with nice view.

Good view away from the crowds”

I really enjoyed staying at this place because it had a great view and was further away from the busy crowds of Phi Phi. The cottage was just the right size and had everything we needed, including a small pool for relaxing. It was fairly clean and still only a 5-10 minute walk to one of the beaches. The balconies are also very nice to sit outside on.
There are lots of stairs at this hotel as other people have mentioned so if you don’t like stairs then don’t stay here - you’re not going to get a good view without climbing stairs though. You can also definitely still hear the music from the beach in your room - I don’t think there’s really any hotel on the island where you can’t because it’s really loud. If you can’t sleep with music outside then don’t stay on this island.
All in all it’s a pretty nice hotel for the island and very average by Thailand standards.

too many stairs”

Too many stairs to climb. Too too many. I knew about this from the reviews before i go but it was too much more exhausting than i had thought. Phi phi is a small island so this hotel is also walkable to any places on phi phi. But its quite a walk from ton sai pier and it can be really tiring after you finish your tour and go back to the hotel.
The staffs were friendly and we booked our tour and ferry ticket here with good price.

Super friendly staff! ”

From the time I originally booked, the staff was pleasant and helpful each time I called asking about extra beds, booking availability, etc. Once I arrived, everyone was friendly and kind. We were met directly at the pier and within minutes, were following our guide up to the hotel. He grabbed a cart and offered to take our bags but our backpacks were small so we didnt mind carrying them. Please treat the staff kindly..The stairs you may complain about are ones they walk up and down several times an hour. While hanging out at the pool, I could not believe the people I heard complaining as if the place does not say UPhill cottage. Its a beautiful view and peaceful complex..take the 'hike' with a smile, or stay somewhere else.

Great service, beautiful view! ”

My friends and I chose to take a different approach to Phi Phi this time and stay off the actual beach. This location was perfect as it is still near the center of "town" and an easy walk to the main area. Yes, it is up a lot of stairs but the name is called Uphill..I cannot believe how surprised some people can be. Read the reviews. The only way to get an amazing birds-eye view is from above--by going up stairs. I found this small climb to be worth the peace and quiet. Plus, the pool has a great view over the ocean. It was quiet and quaint. The rooms were cute and clean. I loved being able to party on the beach when wanted and head back to a cozy place after.
The staff here was fantastic as I had called and changed the booking a few times. I also bought my ferry ticket from them and missed the boat. It was an easy exchange to make and the man at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. I would love to stay here again!

Great place to stay”

I read a few bad reviews but noticed that they were all more than 1 year old. All of the recent reviews were positive and my experience was great. Maybe this hotel made some changes and big improvements. It was far enough from the main area to be quiet but close enough to walk there in about 10 minutes. We had a high up room, so there were a lot of steps that was a bit rough climbing up at 2am, but we were right next to the pool and there was a great view to make it worth it. Would definitely stay here again.

it was an ok place to stay, the shower isn't very powerful, and the room isn't very well lit, be careful of the scorpions when climbing the stairs at night, however the pool is lovely!!! it is air conditioned. and the beds are comfy.
